FDI flows into China to see steady growth

Investment up despite unprecedented global challenges, say leading experts

Foreign direct investment inflows into China will see steady growth this year and in 2020, amid further opening-up and the shift to internationally accepted trade rules, industry experts and officials said on Wednesday.

Though the global economy is facing unprecedented challenges such as slower economic growth pace and rising trade tensions, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said on Monday that FDI inflows into China grew 4 percent year-on-year to $73 billion during the first six months of this year, making China the world's second largest economy in terms of attracting foreign capital. The US remained the world's largest FDI recipient country, attracting capital of $143 billion during the six-month period.
